My first large group ride and it was nerve racking for me. To much and I told my son's to please give each other space and lets stay in the back. We were out for 5 hours and stopped three times to stretch and a 4th for a guy went down at 100 mph. Not cool! If I ever go to one like this again I will suggest to the organizer that the senior rider do a full walk around to inspect bikes. I will not do one of these but I really didn't know they would be freaking crazy. Couple of the guys could touch the ground poop. It was exciting but not fun and very sad that kid was in carhart pants and they didn't do that well. Shoe off and cloth type mesh jacket was ripped up the back and done its job and his gloves were ripped and I seen blood on his fingers but I guess they somewhat done there job. His lower left leg was obviously broken in two places and ankle was screwed! We were on the interstate where some were heading home and in different directions. I could tell they were then really hitting that throttle hard. Rider had dirt bike experience and only a few weeks on his street machine. That bike slide approx 50 yards. Heavy traffic and pretty heavy auto traffic as well. Ok, no front fender and the brake line was rubbing. There was no walk around or safety briefings at the initial gathering place. They were all very young and this will never be my thing again and I hope my son's gets the good time away from this. It was a large group because the birthday girl was beautiful and rides a GSXR1000. I hate this kid went down!!! I seen the smoke and immediately was calling my son's name on the intercom and they were good. Cody on this MVAgust M4 seen it. When that front brake like rubbe through he just lost the front tire. A bobber ran over the kid and he didn't lose it. Sucks! This makes me fell I wish these boys didn't have bikes. The kid is in the Green Jacket toward the end. I new no one but my son's and TJ their friend. Serious ass hole dad brief tonight!!!
